Friday saw light winds and calm seas. I was on the beach at 3Rs Road around 6:00AM and set up to catch a cobia. I had some kingfish heads that Robbie at Lewes Harbour Marina saved for me and I rigged one of them on a fish-finder rig. Once that was out there, I rigged…

Wednesday saw some light showers between bright sunshine. It was bound to happen. Fenwick Tackle reported that Tyler Adams caught a 41-inch cobia out of the surf in Ocean City on a chunk of kingfish. I would think bunker, spot or mullet would also attract a cobia. You might want to keep a light rod…

Monday saw small craft advisories up on the ocean. Amanda said no fish crossed the cleaning table on Monday. They do have a new tournament for the month of August. Beginning August 1st and running through August 31st the Dorado for Ducks Tournament will take place. The proceeds from this contest will go to the…

Monday saw small craft advisories up in the ocean and very little fishing. At Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em the Captain Ike II defied the weather and went tuna fishing. They had nine yellowfin and while they didn’t say, I suspect they were on the chunk. Jeff Waxman, Dr. Pat and the Dr’s son James,…

Sunday was a good weather day making for a rare good fishing weekend. Old Inlet Bait and Tackle reported the first pompano of the summer. The first was caught on Saturday at 3Rs Road on a worm and measured 13 inches. The second was a very nice fish at 16.5 inches and was caught by…

The weather in Friday wasn’t too bad, but fishing was a bit slow. The big news comes from Hook ‘em and Cook ‘em where Scott Brooks weighed in the pending Delaware State Record Cobia. He caught the 90-pound, 63-inch cobia just off of Bethany Beach on a Captain Mitchell’s white bucktail with a white worm.…

Thursday was a beautiful day for fishing, but it didn’t help me. My wife and I were up at 5:00 AM and on the water around 6:00. Headed to the Outer Wall to try for slot rockfish and struck out there. Moved to Reef Site 8 and the current was so strong we couldn’t hold…

Tuesday saw small craft advisories up in the ocean and very few boats left the dock. I was up a 0515 and at Indian River Inlet around 0630. The current was running in very fast on the full moon and by the time I cast a Stingsilver out, closed the bail and began to crank…

Sunday saw a strong northeast wind and very little fishing. To the best of my knowledge, no boats ran from Lewes or Indian River Marina. When I spoke with Old Inlet Bait and Tackle, they said the surf was rough, but a few folks braved it out. They didn’t have any reports on what, if…
